To Feel

Drowning felt easier than swimming.

It’s easy to sink,

rather than swim.

The words pull me under.

I keep moving

adrift,

my mind torn asunder.

The water consumes,

hungry and starved.

Nothing left behind.

I pushed you away, kept you safe.

Yet you say, there’s no love in my eye.

The waves crashed,

a thunderous roar.

My words lost to the sea.

You stood, you watched,

didn’t hear.

I let the blue consume me.

Noises faded.

Emotions degraded.

Yet you say, I don’t feel.

Love eroded.

Heart corroded.

Yet you say, I don’t feel.

I sunk, I sunk,

despair.

The thoughts drowned me.

Push and pull,

a constant fight.

Souls drained empty.

Yet you said, I could never feel.

Words repeated.

Faith depleted.

I decided to swim free.
